Bateman responds

Letters to the Editor about May elections

March 31, 2010

Bert Bateman has been an extremely effective and responsive city councilman over the past 12 years. During this time, I have had many interactions with Bateman involving city services and issues that affect my neighborhood and the city of Newport News.

Bateman always responds to my concerns and attempts to answer my questions himself or directs them to the appropriate city staff members. He always follows up with me until an issue is resolved. We are fortunate to have such a responsive city councilman.
